IN VEN TORI. Mf/iaizzA/Eae/rdmfi BY I WITNESSES A; HUELSDONK, OF LEGRAND,CALIFORNIA DRILLING-RIG To all whom it may concern .1, Be it knownthat 1', WILLIAM A. HUELS- pONK, a citizen of the United States, residuse the same, reference being had to the eccompanying drawings, and tothe characters reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisapplication. This invention relates to improvements in riggingandparaphernaliaused for boring wells, the object of the invention-being-to produce a drill capable of a reciprocating motion and at thesame time having a means foriextendingit la-teraily forthe purpose ofremoving sand' in large quantities from water bearing sand strata in'order to allow the drill without the a large clean rea for the inflowof the water to he raised from thewell after the drilling operation isfinished""or for the purpose of clearing the same 01ft of the path ofthe drill during-the drilling operation.

A further object of the invention is to produce a simple and inexpensivedevice and yet one which will he exceedingly eflective for the purposesfor which it is .esigned.

These objects, I accomplish by means of such structure and relativearrangement of of the. following specification and claims. On thedrawings, similar characters of reference'indioate corresponding partsin k the several views.

- Referring now more particularly to the characters of reference Inumeral 1 designates thewell and the numeral2 designates the station pie adapted to be'projeoted therein and a ddrd to by suitable sections ascreases.

tion pipe 2 is open. On the lower end of the "sleeve 3 are the diggingdrills 4 of any suitable type. A cable '5 is provided with branches6'Which connect with the lower end of the sleeve?) for the purposelowering such sleeve to cause perform their functions. Thus with themovement of the walking beam, not shown the member 3 is raised andlowered to intermittently raise and the bottom of the well thusparticles of dirt or rock. Such particles, together with the Water whichis in the bottom of the well, is then worked 31p through the suctionpipe 2 and discharged at any sultable point, fresh water being'run intothe well in anysuitable manner.

of raising and the drills 4 to drop the members 4 into breaking off hen,during the drilling operation, a

stratum of water bearing sand 7 is encountered and it is necessary toremove a portion of said sand before the well can be further proceededwith, I provide a means consists in the-use of the ture, namely :1remove the supports the drills 4 and to the member 3 and clamponto the.3 a fiexible li'ose 8 having suitable digging points 9 secured on theend thereof endifitg ting over which is a guard or hood 10; A cable 6 isthen connected with the sleeve 3 and a cablel'i is connected "Withthehood 10. When it is desired to withdraw a quantity of sand *from the,Water bearing stratum 7, the suction pipe 2 carrying the flexible hose8 is lowered to a point near the bottom of the following strucportion49?, which member which is threa ded for doing this in an effectivemanner which I well-and then bycpullingon the cable 6 the end of theflexible hose 8 maybe pulled into by means of the suction pump to suchan eX- tent as may be desired. The well may then be further dug withoutdanger of the sand caving into thesame and also for a flow of water ifit is desiredto pump the same from suchfstratum. i

From the readily be, y on that I have produe'ed such a device assubstantially fulfils the objedts 'of "the invention as setiforthherein. I

' l/Vhile this specification sets forth in detail-v the present and;preferred construction .of the device, still in practice, fromsuchdetail maybe resorted to as do "not form a departure from thespirit ofthe such" deviations foregoing description' it Willi nvention as definedby the appended claims,

Having thus described my invention What I claim as new and useful anddesire to secureby Letters Patent is 1. A device of the characterdescribed com- 5 prising the combination of e suction pipe,
